1ºWendy Wilson sorry I do not see an influx of illegals and yes I live in New Mexico. Do we have them yes do we have legal people coming over the border yes. Biden has not done anything differently than any other President since the 1990's. Illegal cannot vote in Federal elections drugs come in through other ways besides just the southern border. The problem that the people in Washington would rather point fingers and do the blame game than actually work together and get something accomplished. It is both sides not just one and until everybody can admit that nothing will change. Maybe you need to look deeper and see what the real problem is.
2ºAndrew Hand do you live in Texas? Inspecting these trucks is NOT stopping illegals from crossing the border. I thought Trump’s wall was going to do that. That 400 lbs of meth was caught during a routine inspection in California and is a relative small amount. Thank the American demand for drugs.
Here is a quote from an elected republican:
This misguided policy will have little or no impact on the invasion on our southern border caused by the inaction of the Biden Administration," Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Sid Miller wrote to Abbott on Tuesday. "Instead, this policy will hurt Texas and American consumers by driving up already skyrocketing food prices, worsening ongoing supply chain disruptions, causing massive produce shortages, and saddling Texas and American companies with untold losses."
Bottom line is this was not the best decision by Abbott. It hurt more Americans than it hurt or stopped illegals crossing. Sometimes a leader has to step back and say- well that didn’t work.
3ºJess Strunk
It didn’t happen as much under Trump because he had title 42 in affect. Because of the drugs that had been coming in prior years.
 Left-wing group secured $158 million taxpayer-funded contract to help illegal immigrants avoid deportation. More than 47,000 migrants released into US by Biden admin in 2021 failed to report to ICE. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) awarded the Vera Institute of Justice, a left-wing nonprofit that backs defunding the police, the contract in 2021 to "provide immigration related legal services to unaccompanied minors," according to USASpending, a federal contract database..

4ºAndrew Hand in 4 years, only 80 miles of new barriers have been built where there were none before - that includes 47 miles of primary wall, and 33 miles of secondary wall built to reinforce the initial barrier.
A wall will NEVER stop all illegal crossings because there are too many places to cross where a wall can not be built. Also, did Mexico ever pay? Abbott’s FUBAR plan to inspect every commercial truck coming across the border hurt Americans and businesses. Abbott had to save face while backing out of his truck inspection plan so he had the Mexicans states agree to some security measures on their side (whatever that means). They only did that because Abbott was screwing with their economy too. By the way, I never watch The View.
Do you live in Texas?
5ºLisa Mayfield Norton just because you live in a border state does not mean you know it all. And thank you, I travel enough. None of those places have ever been on my list and never will be. And one would think if you live in a border state you’d be as pissed as we the people are. They are coming in, thousands a day. Some are honest people, some are severe criminals. And the epidemic of drug abuse in the USA is a problem that needs to be seriously addressed. I know one thing that might help, the joke of a president, vice President and their administration to actually go to the border and do something about it. But why would they? They need them for votes and make an immense amount of money from the drugs they bring in. The problem is a lot deeper then you think
6ºPhillip Williams and its their fault how? Did they put the drugs in their tool boxes and try to smuggle them across? Where did it say that in the article? Get off the politics for once. Be thankful our border patrol found it PERIOD. Blame gameagain. Usually its the repugnants who do wrong and then blame the dems. You know something about the bust we dont? Why are the repugnants from Indiana so backwards? Did any of you pass 8th grade? And if I was to thank anybody, it would be the 80+ million voters who voted trump out! Those are the ones I thank!
7ºLinda Gauthreaux The Texas governor is pulling a publicity stunt pure and simple as to stopping the trucks at the southern border they’ve already been inspected for drugs and that kind of contraband and illegal immigrants coming in on those trucks before they get to the part where Greg Abbet is holding those surmise of which by the way is carrying food and other goods to the United States that’s affecting our food supply chains and other items that are in short supply here in the United States he’s holding them up for over 20 hours in some instances offer applied Lucidi stunt. As to busing migrants to Washington DC that’s just causing taxpayers money your money but he don’t think that Texas is going to pay for that do you gonna be charging it to the United States government instead of doing his job down there where he should be he’s just pulling a blood blister the stunt jumps he’s got a run for president I hope nothing I can’t even run Texas and keep the lights on and look what he’s doing to women down there putting bounties on their head
8ºKevin Houston I dont care if biden won are lost I never said so I have not 1 thing to get over. I never will meet them so I couldnt careless. That's the truth. I just want ever vote Democrat so I dont care. That's not my worry . Kevin thinks it is but I'm not . When I get off facebook and dont see the political post I dont worry guy. So you are wrong about me.i dont care if Mexico paid for a wall are not. I know Biden isnt and texas is. Tell someone that cares I dont. I'm not treating nobody bad. If I met 1 are anybody I would treat them right and I have and do. Everybody I have every met likes me and have said how nice of a person I am. I treat people right no matter who they are. So get over your self till you know me personally. Genius
9ºDawn Hodge Alberts Not one of those things involved meth. NOT ONE. Meth is and always has been a street drug. My late ex husband did not die from a prescribed drug. He died from METH he got from the dealers who got the premium MEXICAN meth instead of the cheap, weak home cooked stuff. My brother did not lose a great deal of his mental capacity with prescribed drugs. METH fried his brain and tipped him over the edge into mental illness. METH - premium MEXICAN METH has caused my family imprisonment. mental illness, and death. Don't belittle someone else's suffering until you have all the facts.
10ºMaurice Maurice Maurice “Biden has abandoned his core responsibility to ensure the integrity of our nation’s borders.”
Biden is currently on pace to break his own illegal immigration records, a new analysis suggests. In 2021, Biden set new records for illegal immigration by enticing more than two million border crossers and illegal aliens to take the often deadly journey through Mexico to the nation’s southern border in the hopes of being released into the U.S
in the month of January, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released into the U.S. interior more than 62,500 border crossers and illegal aliens — a foreign population more than twice the size of Princeton, New Jersey; nearly twice the size of Lexington, Massachusetts; and more than six times the size of Jackson, Wyoming.
